Before you pitch

Bloomberg Beta does not invest inWe do not invest in fintech and financial services. We do avoid, for example, e-commerce and entertainment because they tend to serve people outside their work capacity. There are also other areas that intersect with the future of work where we know too little to be confident, e.g., retail, travel, local, heavy industry, and medical services.
